The next day, Li Xiangping set out again and went to Japan to participate in the third "Toyota Cup" semi-finals.

It is already mid-October. In the next few months, the champions of the "Toyota Cup", "Samsung Cup" and "LC Cup" will be decided one after another, so in the next peak season, this "Toyota Cup" is the first stop.

The person who led the team to participate this time was Yu Bin, the former "children's team leader". He is now in the management of the chess academy and temporarily serves as the deputy leader of the national Go team coaching team.

During the trip, Li Xiangping and Yu Jiuduan Zhangda reporter Lao Xie and others chatted, and Yu Bin suddenly said:

"Xiangping, it seems you haven't fought with Da Li for a while."

Li Xiangping smiled slightly: "Yes, in the past two years, I have really fought with him less, but there is no gap left. Anyway, I have to make an appointment with him once or twice a year."

The number of times he played with Da Li has decreased. From Li Xiangping's perspective, he believed that Li Canghao had passed the peak of his competitive athletics and no longer had the dominance around 2,000 years. However, he still maintained a very high competitive level. Just like his "Nine-Lian Ya" in real history, although he is no longer the best Da Li, the semi-finals and quarter-finals are still common. Since this is the case, Li Xiangping still encounters him several times a year, of course it is not surprising at all.

After talking about the opponent, everyone talked about this year's competition system. The biggest change in this year's "Toyota Cup" is that the semi-finals are no longer chess. In addition to the finals, they are still three games. This semi-finals are a decisive game.

Everyone speculated about the reason why the organizer changed the competition system, and time traveler Li Xiangping knew it well-----

This should be the last "Toyota Cup". Toyota's "brake door" has actually exploded, but things are still fermenting and have not yet triggered the global media. Only when Toyota is in a state of turmoil, will they announce the suspension of the competition.

I had nothing to say all the way. After arriving in Japan, even the "Eve Festival" was much simpler than before. After attending the reception dinner before the competition, Li Xiangping, who returned to the room, suddenly said to his cheat sheet:

"Brother Ding'an, why don't we use our two swords together in this game?"

"Ah! Why? Didn't you say it before... Haha? I understand? The little friend of Xiangping is still angry about their refusal to participate in the promotion competition."

"Haha, no, what's so angry about this? They love to come or not..." --------

Of course, Li Xiangping is a cooked duck with a stubborn mouth? A few days ago, I heard that Li and the big guy refused to participate in next year's "Phoenix Ancient City Cup". Although Li Xiangping looked indifferent on the surface? But to be honest, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Because this means that your strength has not been recognized by everyone--------

If you don’t talk about who thinks it is better than yourself now?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

"Brother Ding'an, don't forget. Da Li defeated Gu Dali this time and sat in front of us, so I thought, this time we not only want to win, but also want to win beautifully? Winning makes them have nothing to say, I thought this is the only way..."

"Haha?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Li Xiangping nodded and said, "Everything is wrong. I think this is what I think now, and I personally think that our practice has come to this point. But if we want to make human beings first, we must have enough training opportunities and strive for enough training opportunities. We must be stronger than before in the World Championships, so strong that everyone is convinced and so strong that everyone is desperate. I think that only in this way can we obtain a transcendent position, and they will willingly accept letting first."

After the two discussed it, they decided: in order to gain a "transcendent status", the first step was to take the Li Jiqi flag.

The next morning, the competition officially began.

As Yu Bin Jiudan said, since the two have not fought for a long time, this game has attracted much attention, especially since Da Li just defeated Gu Dali, not only-------

Gu Dali has won three consecutive victories against Dali before, and Gu Dali has also won Li Xiangping in vain. Therefore, in the past year or so, Gu Dali has been regarded by many people as the "second player in the chess world today."

This time, Gu Dali's loss was a bit like returning the position of "second player" to Da Li. Since this is the case, this game will certainly attract attention.

It’s a pity that the content of the competition was disappointing.

Especially those in the Korean Go world were even more disappointed.

In the eyes of many people, Li Canghao did not play at all in the semi-finals of the "Toyota Cup". He played the whole game of chess like sleepwalking. Not only did he fall behind very early, but he seemed to have few ways in a backward situation.

He had already shown a decisive defeat just after 100 moves of the game.

With less than 130 moves, the whole game seemed to be going through the motions.

By the time Li gave in more than 160 moves, his situation was already very different, and the number of Li Xiang's eyes that were holding white was already showing a trend of counter-leading.

Not only was the outside world disappointed, but even Li Xiangping himself was a little strange----It was certainly not strange to win chess with a combination of two swords, but winning so easily, Li today seemed weak, which was far beyond his expectations.

"Brother Ding'an, this situation is a bit strange today."

"How strange?"

"Well, why do I feel that Da Li seems to have become weaker and has no pressure? I feel that he is much easier to deal with than Gu Dali. I really can't figure out how he defeated Gu Dali last time."

"Haha, it's not because of the weaker chess power, but because of the chess style. We use two swords to defeat this person, but it's a bit unfair."

"It's because of the chess style?"

"Don't forget my friend Xiangping. With this person's style, he never pursues extreme efficiency and does not rely on instant explosive power. He pays more attention to average efficiency in his chess game and wins by relying on the advantages accumulated by one hand and one hand. Our combination of two swords is actually a similar style, so it's not surprising that he can't resist it."

Li Xiangping nodded after hearing this, thinking that Lao Shi's words were really reasonable.

Li Xiangping and Lao Shi used the "two swords combination", although in these chess games, they could also play tricks or play good chess at the "high-level dog moves".

However, there is basically no good chess of this level that the two discussed. Either Li Xiangping thought of it alone, or Lao Shi thought of it alone, and then the two of them improved it and finally ended up on the chessboard.

What can be discussed at any time is actually those ordinary tricks. By "combining the two swords", they can make their tricks more reasonable and more accurate, so what they really improve is actually the average efficiency of each move and every move.

And this characteristic just prevents Li from being tightly restrained.

Because his Go philosophy, or his way of winning, has always been based on pursuing average efficiency. He can tolerate the temptation of making a brilliant move. Others' average efficiency is 80 points. Da Li often doesn't ask for too much. He always chooses the 81 or 82 points method, and then wins with the accumulated advantages bit by bit.

But when he plays this method, he suddenly encounters a "double sword combination" with an average score of more than 85 points, and naturally there is no way to do it, and the possibility of winning chess becomes extremely small.

After figuring out this joint, Li Xiangping smiled and said, "Haha, it seems that it has become extremely simple to defeat Li in the future. When the two swords are combined, he will most likely not be able to resist it. On the contrary, Li Gu Dali is like this. They pursue extreme efficiency and pay attention to instant explosive power. If they also play high-priced dog-tactic chess in the game, although we don't have to worry about him, we still need to spend more trouble to win."

Old Shi smiled and said, "Don't be proud of Xiangping, don't forget, we can just let him first with the combination of two swords, but if we want to challenge the machine, we must be able to let him first alone. Ding'an is not at this level yet. Xiangping, please ask yourself, are you at this level now?"

"This...ah, I said, Brother Ding'an, you're really true. Isn't it still nearly 10 years? Why are you picking? Can't you make me happy for a while?"

"hehe."

When the two of them communicated here, the other semi-finals ended, and the result was a bit beyond Li Xiangping's expectations. Zhang Xu turned out to be the reverse of Li Li. In the final more than a month later, Li Xiangping and Zhang Xu would play three games together.

Since you have made up your mind to establish a "transcendent position" from now on, it doesn't matter who you touch.

In this kind of score-first match, there is nothing to say about others who have to win in the future, and it is best to win others' despair. This is Li Xiangping's next pursuit.

After the "Toyota Cup", Li Xiangping returned home immediately.

Although he has set a higher goal now and there are many games waiting for him next, a few days after returning to China, he decided to pay attention to his private affairs first, especially the "Galaxy Bay" has been opening for several days. He is thinking about his bet with his old man. As long as the sales of "Galaxy Bay" exceeds 10 billion, then after 10 billion, he and Li Datuhao will share the 50% of the 50% deposit.

It was precisely because he was thinking about this that on the second day after Li Xiangping returned to China, it happened to be another weekend. Li Xiangping decided to go home and check it out, and ask if he had any money to share, and how much money he could get if he could.

Li Xiangping just got into the car, but received a call from Yaya.

"Hey, where are you?"

"Wudaokou, are you going home to check it out? Why, I miss me, I called me so early today."

"Who misses you?"

There was also pretending to be pretentious: "I just want to tell you about the red envelope."

"Red envelope? Oh, it's the red envelope that I, Aunt Lin, said, right? If she wants to give it to you, just collect it. What else can I tell me?"

"No, that red envelope...that red envelope is too big, I'm a little afraid to accept it."
